Thread: Why is Kimahri so useless?

  1. #1

    Default Why is Kimahri so useless?

    I read about people hating Kimahri saying he is useless and whatnot. What makes him so useless? I mean if you limit him to his grid, then yah, but you can emulate him into any other caracter basically, and his Overdirves can be very devestating.

    So what are your specific reasons?

    He has no identity of his own to begin with, he is merely a copy of one of the other characters. I know that if you complete the SG all the characters are the same, but some players have no motivation to do so for Kimahri due to his ambiguity.

    Stone Breath and Nova are the only useful Rages he has, but I like to abuse Self Destruct.

    I like Kimahri. He had potential to be such a good character, but he was overshadowed by others. I mean.. whats not to like? He's a good gaurdian, he takes his job seriously, in his Tribe he's a underdog who fights his way back up to earn respect.

    There's always the one character that seems to get disliked in that way, usually the non human ones, ie, Quina and Cait Sith.. whom I both happen to love as well.

    I like the noise he makes before he blows himself up, he sounds so emo! And give him more that 9999 HP, and BHPL, Self destruct is the Roxx0rz

    How does Self-Destruct work, does it deal damage = to Kimahris? I dont really play other characters besides Tidus, Wakka, Yuna, and Rikku.

    Damage = Kimahri's Max HP * 3

    Works very nicely with BHPL and BDL.

    Azure, I think Quina and Cait Sith are great. In my opinion the best non-human character is either Red XIII or Freya.

    Egh i liked kihmari alot actually....hes my favorite character...but any hoot self destruct was cool but for some reason i had a thing for jump and thrust kick....i love blue mages...what can i say?

    Trust Kick is useless as it never ejects the enemy from battle, despite what the information may say, and its got an Attack Power of just 1 more than Jump. Seed Cannon is just as good as Thrust Kick.

    By the way, it is possible to get a Critical Hit with Kimahri's Self-Destruct, which is very nice against a fiend with huge HP.

    Im not saying they're useful....just looked cool (should have been more specific) and a critical on self destruct eh? Well if that isnt enough to get your blood pumping for some kamikaze mayhem then i dont know what is (besides messing around with some grenades.....in the game that is) awsome tip by the way

    Can't argue with logic like that.

    I guess most people just see Kimari as useless because you generally have to spend more time leveling, then you do with any other character, to get him to the same level of proformance as the other characters.
    Now for some words of wisdom:
    Always remember that you are absolutely unique. Just like everyone else.....hmmm wait just a minute.

    In my game he actually wound up being as strong as Auron early on, and his HP was almost as high.

    Khimari not useless. Khimari just initially positioned poorly in sphere grid.

    ...

    Khimari sad.
